    Stay On It: Minimalism Past, Present & Future

    Date October 06, 2023 7:30pm Pricing $33 – $43

    Since its inception in the 1960s with pioneers like Steve Reich and Meredith Monk, minimalism has become one of the most influential forces in contemporary music – and indeed, the ubiquitous soundtrack of our modern American lives.  But as a younger generation of composers absorbs the legacy of this movement, what comes next? Juxtaposing minimalist figureheads with a quintet of dynamic new voices, this evening gives a glimpse of a thrilling, varied and emotionally resonant future.

    This performance also features Stay On It by Julius Eastman, whose music is currently enjoying a worldwide resurgence.
